Just disable the forced pulseaudio alsa config in /etc/alsa/alsa.conf The ConsoleKit in Fedora 8 uses ACLs to allow multiple users switching desktops to share audio which works well if you pull pulseaudio out of the picture. Though for remote audio, pulseaudio works very well, so keep it around for those rare times you do a remote X session (and force pulse through alsa in the kdm/gdm env scripts if it detects a remote session!). -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
